(My mother with infinite patience has moved too many windows to the left to pick these missing buttons... I would have already thrown the monitor out the window.)
Some further debugging today let me find this:
First, the native resolution 1366x768 is not supported by nvida (the card? the driver?). You need exact 16:9, or multiples of 8, I igore it -- the point is that you need to get the modeline for 1368 horizontal pixels; I used this to generate it and put it on xorg.conf:
$ gtf 1366 768 60
# 1368x768 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 47.70 kHz; pclk: 85.86 MHz
Modeline "1368x768_60.00" 85.86 1368 1440 1584 1800 768 769 772 795
(In Screen section, under a Display subsection, added Modes "1368x768_60.00")
It also works with 1360x768, I still don't know which one is better.
Then, the most important part was in the monitor itself: I read in a forum (about different hardware I think) that there was a "reset to factory defaults" in the monitor. So, afer setting this resolution, I navigated through the unintuitive OSD monitor menu, under Setup - in the last screen - last option is Factory Reset. That simply accomodated all the pixels within the screen! And easier: There is an "auto/set" button that appears to be the same! All this time I was looking for a xorg vs. drivers vs. monitor configuration issue, I never thought it would be that simple.
I am still trying to get a real 1:1 sampling, I see some pixels appearing as "blurred" horizontally. Suggestions are welcome...
